A friend of mine shared an a understanding with me once, we called it the "girl rule". If we drive by the other's house and see the other entertaining a girl, just keep on driving. Nice knowing you, it's been a great friendship, goodbye. :P

That rule expanded into plenty of other geeky areas, including coding and playing computer games. Nope, girls come first.

Oh, BTW, I'm marrying a girl geek in June. Maybe I'll teach her some perl after that. :)
